The Arkansas Hot Springx.
REPORT OF GEN. FIELDS IN CHARGE OF THE Gov
EREAENT RESERVATION.
The annual reports for the various officers of the
Interior Department have begun to come in. The
first report that Of the Director OF the Geological
Survey, was received last week and is now In the
hands Of the Public Printer. To-day Gen. Chas.
w. Field, the superintendent of the Hot Springs,
Arkansas sent in his report. He states that the
area included in what Is known as the Hot Springs
Reservation is 10 miles square, and the hOt-water
area Is included in space 1,2C0 feet long at the
western base OF the Hot Springs Mountain, and ex-
tends 300 feet up its surface. He says that the
culvert along the reservation front was continued
during the present year to 16O feet north or NAL
vern Crossing. He renewS the recommendation of
last year that s31, 900 be appropriated for build
Ing reservoirs and pumping machines to store the
water now allowed to run into the creek. Many
more persons have made use OF the baths
this year than the year before, and the
prospect is that the springs will continue to
Increase in popularity. He calls attention
to the fact that about 400 persons use the free
bath-hOuSe daily and that the building and pools
are now entirely too small. 1t is recommended
that Congress donate So 600 to erect larger build
ing upon the present site. Gen. Field Submits
number Of testimonials from people who have
availed themSelvesiOf the benefits OF the baths
and have been cured OF variety OF diseases

ARROW STEAMSHIP WORKS
Visited and Inspected by Prominent
Engineers and Others.

Upon the invitation of the Arrow Steamship
Company Chief Engineer Loring and Engineer
Harris and a number of journalists visited
Alexandria yesterday to inspect the plant OF
the company in that city. Resident Director
Connolly received the visitors and explained
the details OF the proposed construction Of the
vessels.
The main feature of the description of inter-
est to the public referred to the advantage
which would be derived. by the new steamship
company, by the offer of the government made
in the last Congress of $50, 900 per quarter knot
per hour ofspeed over twenty knots.
Mr.. Connolly expressed the opinion that the
speed of the steamships of the Arrow Company
would be over twenty-five miles per hour. It
is the expectation of the company that the
first vessel, the Pacahontas, Will be launched
in January next, and as the remaining vessels
are to be built in sections in the various rolling
mills of the country, 1t would appear to be
only a short time before the sister vessels will
be ready for service
